6DP5DT: Trigger shot or BFP???

Hello all,

I'm new here and just wanted a little clarity from anyone who has had a similar experience.

Today I am 6DP5DT and I'm confused as to whether I still have a trigger trace or if this is pregnancy. Image attached but heres a little breakdown.

- Triggered with 10,000 iu Zivafert on Wednesday 8th Jan 8:30pm

- Egg collection on Friday 10th January

- Fresh 5 day embreyo transfer on Wednesday 15th January

- This makes today 13 days post trigger shot

- Official test day - AM of Monday 27th January

I promised I wouldn't be an early tester but I couldn't help myself. I've found the TWW really difficult to switch off. I have noticed my 2nd urine test of the day usually is a bit darker. I haven't used a First Response or Clear Blue yet and I don't intend to until my OTD for a definite answer.

4DP5DT the line is very faint, almost can't see it but it is there.

The blank test strip right at the bottom is one I've done about 20 minutes ago (6DP5DT 2nd pee) and I have indicated which was my 1st and 2nd pee of the day.

I'm keeping myself as grounded as possible and I'm not going to share any results with my husband until OTD. IVF takes the surprise element out of concieving so I'd like to surprise him if it was a true positive after OTD.

Any guidance?

looks good to me 🙏🙏 🍀 🍀

I'm really praying so. I feel like my time is running out and this was an NHS funded cycle. I had low egg count too. My only embreyo, a grade 2 which is apparently very good quality. Currently aren't experiencing any side affects x

[Kitkat10 in reply to Hidden]

I didn’t have any symptoms until at least 6 weeks 🙏🙏 hang in there, the lines look good 🍀🍀

[Hidden in reply to Kitkat10]

Thank you, I'm disappointed in myself for testing early but who the heck doesn't when they go through IVF.

Hello lovely.

If it was the trigger shot I would expect them to be getting lighter but they are most definitely getting darker.

Quiet congratulations 🥰 xx

[Hidden in reply to Millbanks]

Thank you, I am really praying and hoping it's finally my turn after all the struggles 🤞🏼🙏🏼🍀 now I'm feeling all out of sorts because do I keep testing or leave it for the rest of the week. I just couldn't help not testing. x

[Millbanks in reply to Hidden]

It's looking good! A 10,000 trigger shot generally takes 11 ish days to leave your system.

Personally, last time I tested every day (sometimes twice) and it was stressful because every day I was freaking out about the lines getting lighter but when I put them all together at the end it was the most beautiful line progression - I'd love to frame it! xx

[Hidden in reply to Millbanks]

That's kind of what confused me, whether a 10,000 iu trigger took longer. They threw everything at me. Highest dose of stims etc, down regulation, but my body didn't respond well. I was fine, no side affects besides a migraine for a couple of days anf fatigue but I only produce 3 follicles with 1 egg fertilised so my hopebwas pretty much gone. Praying so hard this is my little miracle. I'm busy travelling tomorrow now and it means it's unlikely I'll get to test, which will play on my mind no doubt xx

[Millbanks in reply to Hidden]

So in theory the trigger shot should half each day, so by day 12 it shouldn't be detectable.

I'm really hoping this is the one - what a little miracle!

Will you update us? xx

[Hidden in reply to Millbanks]

Yes, of course, I'm finding such a lovely community of women here being so supportive and encouraging. Will definitely update 🍀🤞🏼

[Kate-92]

looks like a positive to me 🤞🏼🙏🏼 at 13 days post trigger it would be out your system x

[Hidden in reply to Kate-92]

Thank you, this is now proving to be the slowest week possible. OTD is next week, Monday 27th Jan. I don't know how I'm going to get through the next few days x

[Kate-92 in reply to Hidden]

You will, keep yourself busy and it will be here before you know it. Though I remember it we’ll it feels like an eternity x hope all goes well for you x

[Daughterofaking]

This looks.possitive to me the lines are progressing by the day. I will say congratulations, Gid has done it. Enjoy every step of it. xx

[Hidden in reply to Daughterofaking]

I'm trying to but thr anxiety really does set in with all the hoops and struggles we've had to endure. Really hoping little bean sticks and thrives. x

[Moshine13]

Looks like a positive!!! Congratulations 🎊

[Sarah770]

definitely looks like a positive - stay grounded and relax and be calm: yayyyyy congratulations!!!!!!

[Twiglet2]

looking good so far, trigger shot should be gone and wouldn’t be getting darker at this stage. Fingers crossed it’s a sticky one xx

[Hidden in reply to Twiglet2]

Praying the line progression continues. Sometimes I can't tell if it's getting darker enough but then ground myself because I'm still only 7DP5DT x

[5ABIFGF]

Congratulations 🎉 yep, getting darker! Looks positive to me! I did the same, testing everyday myself, and getting silently excited with my partner until the official test date. Currently 24w pregnant of a baby girl. Best of luck!!!

[Hidden in reply to 5ABIFGF]

Oh how lovely, I'm so pleased for you. Did you find your line progression got darker pretty quickly or did it stay the same for some days and then got darker thr further into your pregnancy? I appreciate for me, it's VERY early days, today only being 7DP5DT xx

[Millbanks]

This was my line progression

Oh how wonderful yours is. Thank you so much for sharing your line progression with me. My brain is wired to worry so sometimes I'm thinking they're not dark enough or not progressing enough but having to remind myself I only had a transfer a week ago today x

[Millbanks in reply to Hidden]

Your day 6 is much stronger than mine was 🩷 you’ve got this xx

[MinnSam]

looks like you will be welcoming a little one very soon into your life

[Hidden in reply to MinnSam]

I really do hope so. I know it's such early days just yet so I'm praying for the progression to be healthy and successful x

[Cinderella5]

Those lines look brilliant!! Good luck.xx

[Hidden in reply to Cinderella5]

Thank you. Trying to stay grounded. I'll be telling my partner on Monday when I let the clinic know what my Monday results are x

[Hidden]

I realise I hadn't come back here and done an update. I wanted to thank you all for reaching out to my original post. You were all so encouraging and supportive with giving me some clarity. On my OTD I got a positive CB digital test and have done a couple more since as I can't quite believe it myself. I have a reassurance scan in a couple of weeks time with my clinic and I'm so nervous about it. Praying everything will be ok xx

[Millbanks in reply to Hidden]

That’s amazing news!! Congratulations xx
